In the vicinity of the train station is the Miya-hara Eye Clinic. Contrary to the name, this is not an eye clinic, but an ice cream, pearl milk tea and pineapple cake specialty store.

The store name originated from a Japanese ophthalmologist Dr. Miya-hara, who established his eye clinic here in1927.

The clinic later became the Health Bureau of Taichung City Government and then became an abandoned building due to disputes over its property ownership.

Eventually, a business group took over the property and revamped the place to become a dessert specialty shop attracting crowds

All the dessert items that you will find in Miya-hara Eye Clinic are delicately made.

The building is divided into several segments, selling ice cream, pearl mtea and various local products.

Perhaps the hottest selling item is their ice cream. There is a whole range of ice cream selections on display. Every flavor imaginable for ice cream from choconte, coffee, fruit, tea and just about any Is there Something interesting worth mentioning is that some of their signature flavors sound very romantic and you wouldn't be able to figure out exactly what the flavor is from its name. 

Once you select the flavors for your ice cream bowl, depending on how many scoops of ice cream you get(you can get1-3 scoops per bowl), you also get a number of sides for free, such as cakes, pineapple cakes and more.

We ordered a bowl with one scoop of Oriental Beauty and another bowl with one scoop of Dark Chocolate. With two one-scoop bowls, we get one free side item for each. Their ice cream is very rich without being too sweet.

Perhaps you will notice that everyone is eating while standing around the pedestrian arcade.

Surprisingly, they do not provide seats for the ice cream buyers, and it's customary for buyer. enjoy their ice cream bowls that way!
